CLAS 25509 - The Greek Colonial World in the Archaic and Classical Period

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

The Aegean cities, and first of all Athens, are linked with the great achievements of ancient Greece. But in the Archaic and Classical periods, a new Greece came into being. This course shows how the new colonial world produced a constellation of brilliant cities that had an existence of their own. Based on both textual and archaeological material, we examine social, political, religious, and economic aspects of this dynamic. We cover a broad geographical field, from Spain to southern Asia Minor or Egypt and from Cyrene to the Pontos. A. Bresson. Winter.
